We have a multitude of advising resources to help you navigate the study abroad process at Cal Poly, including drop-in advising hours, virtual appointments, and an interactive, group workshop! These resources are here to guide you through every step of your study abroad journey - From finding and applying to your ideal program, to learning how to get courses pre-approved and what to pack!
Study Abroad Peer Advising
The International Center Peer Advisors are here to answer all your general questions about study abroad! There are two ways students can meet with a peer advisor during our scheduled drop-in hours: 1) Scheduling a virtual appointment ahead of time or 2) stopping by the International Center (Building 52, Rm. E-32) during drop-in hours.
Pre-Advising Requirement
First, please ensure that you have completed your Pre-advising Module (formerly 101 Advising Module) prior to beginning drop-in advising. We also encourage you sign up for a Study Abroad 101 Workshop because many of your initial questions can be answered in both the workshop and advising module. Once you have completed this module, you will be able to meet with a Peer Advisor and/or a professional staff member.
